Well, we've had quite a few of these lately, so I figured we might want another aggregate thread. Sometimes a news story just doesn't warrant a whole thread. It's unlikely to spawn a meaningful discussion, and it's not very important. These can be funny, sad, morbid or just interesting. On the off chance that one of these sparks a real discussion of decent length, a new thread could be made. I'll start the bidding:

An apology is at least something, but here's the thing about apologies: if you're forced to apologize, then you clearly don't mean it. If it was a true apology, it would have come of your own volition. So even if this shinebox apologizes, he's not going to learn from his mistake, or even necessarily recognize what the mistake really was-- he's just paying lip service to appease the complainers. Resignation is a more apt repercussion, to be honest. At least he would be affected by his own actions in a tangible way.
